CURRENT MISSION

To travel and absorb as much of South America in 2009 as possible

ABOUT ME

Well I'm a 20 something young man who's preparing himself for his first real long distance travelling experience.
I was born and raised in Hampshire, UK and have been living down this way for most of my life.

I'm always up for a laugh and a bit of banter and a huge fan of music and football (I know typical man).

I do like a good chat about the random things in life but I think that makes converstaions a little more interesting in my eyes. I can also be a little quiet at times but that's me just pondering life etc and generally daydreaming!!

Decided that now is the time for me to really break off those shackles and head out on my own and discover a little bit more than a 9 to 5. South America just draws me in straight away so this is where my life changing experience begins and I'm hoping to meet plenty of people on the way!

PHILOSOPHY

Life Is Just A Rhythm, Time Is Just A Phase

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was recommended this site by a friend on another travelling website, she said it's one of the greatest ways to meet people and really live and experience a foreign country!

So I wanted to opt in and be part of an ever growing community and hopefully pass on my experiences to many others in the near future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awaiting my first one, so I'll let you know soon!

Interests

I'm a huge football fan and Arsenal are my team so expect to get stuck into some footie conversations if I'm about.

I'm also really into my music I'm very open when it comes to listening to tunes. Breaks, psy trance, hip-hop, drum & bass, metal, soul, acid techno you name it I'll listen to it.

Big fan of UFC, food, clouds, wildlife, Pro Evo, dancing, filthy raves, drinking and generally just doing what makes me happy in life!
